- It's time for a Fender Custom Shop instrument, and today's guitar goes even further than that - a 1997 Telecaster built for, owned and signed by Jerry Donahue himself! This one is all original and includes a letter from Jerry about the guitar. This Telecaster plays and sounds fantastic as you'll hear when Nick plugs it into a 1966 Fender Deluxe Reverb for the demo!

Sweet guitar with a cool wiring scheme. Excellent finger work by Nick Mardon.
Possibly worth noting that it has a Stratocaster pickup in the neck, as did all of Jerry's later guitars. The wiring is also different to a traditional Tele, though off hand I can't remember why exactly.
Beautiful Tele great playing thanks ECG
loved it
Very hard to tell sometimes what the treasure is. The guitar or the amp.
If you guys like Jerry pick up a Peavey Omniac JD. Great American Tele with a unique design. Positions 2-4 are Parallel, Woman Tone and Out of Phase Greeny. Make sure it’s an American one. The American Generation Series are all good Tele’s.
It might be helpful to try different mic placements for these recordings. I love seeing all the cool gear, but your videos all have a really dramatic upper mid peak that is like a slap in the face. Probably UA-cam isn't the best for audio quality, but man it sounds like an SM 57 directly on the cone.
Interesting that that’s what you hear. By contrast, I always appreciate Emerald City sound demos because I can hear that they include a healthy amount of room mics so you get to hear what the amps sound like raw, in person, instead of just a close miked, produced, “sounds like it’s on an album” quality that 99% of UA-cam demos do. Check out some of their demos with a Marshall where they don’t have any amp reverb - you can hear the “room” in the recording, so it can’t be just a single mic jammed right up to the speaker.

@@darwinsaye I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything. I really like all of the gear and the playing, I just hear that one quality in all the demos.
Jeff Oh, I didn’t think you were being a jerk at all. I just legit found it interesting that you heard the quality differently than I do. I think I get the quality you’re talking about though. Probably my only criticism of the demos is some of the players are just totally heavy handed from start to finish, and that has the same effect in my ears like you were describing from the Mike placement. Like, jeez, have some dynamics to showcase all the tonal qualities of a guitar rather than sounding like every single pick stroke is about to snap a string, lol
